Lucky man, all the ones I've seen are beat up or cost way to much. One of the best looking factory wheels IMO. Mind sharing what you gave for them.

Tires my recommendation is Michelin Super Sport for hot climates/summer/spring tire but if you have mild Winters and want all season than Michelin A/S 3+. Right now I still say Michelin is the king on the best tires and I don't consider that an opinionated statement. Sure you can find tires from all other manufacturers that people will say are great but those same tires some people will say they don't like. Hard to find someone that said they didn't like their Michelins. It's usually I got these so and so tires but wished I got the Michelins or there good but the Michelins we're better. Just my 2 cents

I was running out of supplies and was browsing at AutoZone and saw 3 different 3M kits that day. The one I almost bought had a 1000, 3000, 5000 sanding pad, compound, polish, sealant. It was a 6 piece kit. $15 I reconditioned my mom's Grand Marquis headlights and used up the rest of my stuff. I just resource my own kits for headlights and use Meguiers Ultimate Polish, Compound and a wax safe on plastics.

I was in a parking lot the other day just observed all the headlights I saw. Honestly 9 out of 10 headlights look horrible aside from the cars made in the last 5 years. People don't realize how easy it is to restore headlights like new.

Makes me debate a 2nf part time job doing headlights for $20 a pop with a Craigslist add

+1 for Michelin's - with 285 30 20 pilot super sports there is no slip when launching from a standstill. Off the line and kept ahead of a Ralliart Lancer (2.0 Turbo w/ AWD)

Also washed and messed with a nice camera

Fixed the driver side test pipe that had broken loose on the inside. No more buzzy Honda sounds...making a road trip to ATL this weekend and so happy that I got this fixed before that . Also bled the clutch and she's ready to roll.

hahaha thanks guys, could not be any happier with the colour choice. I still haven't cut and buffed the clear so I'm excited to see how it all comes out. Here's a few more pics from our day trip up to St. Augustine, FL.

Thanks! My A arms are actually stock, along with all the others. The only aftermarket items on my suspension are the Tein S techs and Armstrong comp rod bushes. At this height, natural camber is about 2-2.5 in the front and 2.5-3 in the rear. I don't really travel far enough to warrant adjustable arms for correct alignment and I get well priced used tires.
